What You Will Learn?
- In this course you will learn how to transform a design file into a clean designers portfolio website in Wordpress. So at the end of the course you can have your own designers portfolio up and ready to use..
- I will use the free version of Elementor in this course (the most popular pagebuilder in the world) and I will use a free theme. That means that there are no hidden costs within this course. The only thing you need (which costs money) is a domain. But if you don’t have one, I will show you an easy way to acquire one..
- What makes this course different is that I don’t just import a few templates and I show you how to edit those (like many other courses), but I’m a designer myself. So I know the theory behind design and will guide you from the first button to the last piece of text. If you literarily follow all the video’s you will have a new portfolio site after one day. Then you just need to change it according to your taste, and then you’re done! .
- With the skills and website you will have at the end of this course you can to start offering your website skills to others!.
